It would be a shame for the Republicans to reject Rudy. He is smart enough to match wits with any any foreign leader, and deal with the public sector unions which virtually ruined N.Y.C. and are ruining California and other states, since their emergence in the 60's.
I think Rudy should run for Governor of New York. It would do the country, and his party, a lot of good.
I suppose the 2nd Amendment is not one of your big issues?
